Video: Shawlin – Coração

What you know about Brazilian hip hop? Shawlin, an MC from Rio de Janeiro, recently dropped the first single for his album Orquestra Simbólica coming out in February of 2012. The song is called “Coração”, which means heart, and is a great fusion of soulful Brazilian boom bap and microphone dexterity. I can’t quite follow everything Shawlin says, but I love his flow on this track. Definitely stoked about the upcoming album. Dig the South American hip hop brethren!
